It came out a few days ago XAMPP 1.8.0 yesterday after upgrading from version 1.7.7 I had a pretty interesting problem. Phpmyadmin-а не ми се отваряше и изгърмяваше със 403
Access forbidden!
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.
This setting can be configured in the file “httpd-xampp.conf”.
Веднага отворих httpd-xampp.conf който при мен се намира в /opt/lampp/etc/extra/, на пръв поглед всичко изглеждаше наред. The LAN rules were fine. Apart from opening from localhost. WTF ??? I looked at the log and saw that my access was cut off from the configuration. Тука вече нещата ме ахнаха и честно казано донякъде малко на късмет открих проблема. След като преглеждах httpd.conf-а видях в Allow/Deny клаузите един последен ред Require all granted. О да еврика. This is the new control mechanism that has entered apache 2.4.x. It gives access or denies access to all required, it generally mimics the Allow / Deny functionality :). To fix the problem add Require all granted in the / opt / lampp / phpmyadmin folder directives. After the changes, it looks like this to me
<Directory “/opt / lampp / phpmyadmin”>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Viangi can try other savages, for example to rename the phpmyadmin folder to something else and make an alias to no. But it's uglier and not very meaningful 🙂
p.s I was asked why I use XAMPP and not a clean installation of all components as my Debian gave birth to them – the answer is very very simple – LAZINESS. I'm too lazy to write a few commands and then touch my conf and so on. It is much easier to download the whole package, unzip and burn 😉
